FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: For the Fleur coat, with its whimsical fairy-inspired design, selecting the right fabrics is crucial to achieve both the desired look and functionality. Here are some options:
Wool or Wool Blends: Ideal for the main body of the coat, wool offers warmth, durability, and a luxurious feel.
Brocade: This richly decorative woven fabric, often featuring raised designs, can add an opulent and whimsical touch.
Velvet: For a touch of luxury and depth, velvet is an excellent choice. Its plush texture and sheen can elevate the coat’s elegance, making it perfect for evening wear.
Organza (as Contrast Fabric): For the draped cape and flounces, organza is a stellar choice. Its sheer, lightweight nature adds a fairy-like, ethereal quality to the coat, enhancing the whimsical inspiration.
